One of the nation’s top credit-rating agencies says that the U.S. Treasury Department is likely to continue paying interest on the government’s debt even if Congress fails to lift the limit on borrowing next week, preserving the nation’s sterling AAA credit rating.

In a memo being circulated on Capitol Hill Wednesday, Moody’s Investors Service offers “answers to frequently asked questions” about the government shutdown, now in its second week, and the federal debt limit. President Obama has said that, unless Congress acts to raise the $16.7 trillion limit by next Thursday, the nation will be at risk of default.

Not so, Moody’s says in the memo dated Oct. 7.

” We believe the government would continue to pay interest and principal on its debt even in the event that the debt limit is not raised, leaving its creditworthiness intact,” the memo says.“The debt limit restricts government expenditures to the amount of its incoming revenues; it does not prohibit the government from servicing its debt. There is no direct connection between the debt limit (actually the exhaustion of the Treasury’s extraordinary measures to raise funds) and a default.

The memo offers a starkly different view of the consequences of congressional inaction on the debt limit than is held by the White House, many policymakers and other financial analysts. During a press conference at the White House Tuesday, Obama said missing the Oct. 17 deadline would invite “economic chaos.”

The Moody’s memo goes on to argue that the situation is actually much less serious than in 2011, when the nation last faced a pitched battle over the debt limit.

“The budget deficit was considerably larger in 2011 than it is currently, so the magnitude of the necessary spending cuts needed after 17 October is lower now than it was then,” the memo says.

Treasury Department officials did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

<quoted text>anyone dumb enough to buy into the 'Saddam moved his WMD's to Syria' nonsense is clearly gullible enough to believe the Commie nonsense.spoken like a true John Bircher.We get it that you hate Obama. But bearing false witness proves you're a CINO, a Christian in Name Only.

<quoted text>Do you think republicans are stupid for sending a budget bill with a repeal of the ACA attached to it?ACA: LAW OF THE LAND.MAJORITY OF VOTERS APPROVE.minority Republicans shut down gov over ACA?Do you think Republicans are stupid?

Having to defend wasting money teaching people how to wash a penises is stoopid-Liberal!

<quoted text>In the synopsis of the book on Amazon, it starts this way:"Georges Sada was one of Saddam's top generals and foremost military advisors. A truth-teller in a government that made the truth dangerous. A devout Christian in a Muslim country. And a man who would stand up for what was right&#8213;even at the risk of his own life."But truth telling in a government that made the truth dangerous by someone who stood up for what was right even at the risk of his own life doesn't compute with liberals such as yourself.

You get crazier by the hour.

"""Georges Sada was one of Saddam's top generals and foremost military advisors. A truth-teller in a government that made the truth dangerous.""

You call Saddam a ruthless killer. Now how long would a 'truth teller' last in Iraq under Saddam??

About 15 minutes. Saddam had his sons in law killed for going against him. I'm sure this Sada was a loyal killer for Saddam right until the Americans deposed Saddam.

Then, Mr. Sada suddenly became a reliable informant.

Can you say 'self preservation'?? Because that's what motivates this ex Saddam General.

Are you really that stupid??

Your gullability is unbelievable.

Why didn't our satellites see the convoy of trucks going across the desert to Syria.

<quoted text>Speaking of ignorance, have you learned the difference between a tax exemption for something like operational expenses and a subsidy yet?You still haven't been able to show any subsidy to oil companies here. Subsidies to oil companies is an urban legend. They don't exist.

They also don't realize these tax breaks are not oil industry specific.

<quoted text>Then it should have said Clinton, not Obama, in the chart...slipshod poll done for desperate loser Grumpy Old Pricks like you who will believe any swill that supports their jr. high bully mentality.

The date at the top of the article and the asterisk by the one column next to the two present day columns showing Clinton's approval in 1995 that was also indicated at the bottom of the graphic should have given you a hint.

<quoted text>I absolutely agree. An ex-husband should never get to decide over an ex-wife's death when family members are more than eager to take on the responsibilities of care.This guy had remarried and moved on long before sentencing his ex-wife to death by starvation.I will never understand that for as long as I live.

You say you don't lie. You say nobody has caught you in a lie.

The above post proves you to be a liar, Carol.

For once, you need to own up to your lies and quit pretending they're anything but lies.

Admit to your lies, or I will post this exact message every day, proving to all what a serial liar you are.

<quoted text>You said it right, you weren't thinking at all.You just come here to drop ridiculous charges and run off when they are challengedHealth Insurance in America grew dramatically during WWII, due to wage and price controls.I believe 1943 was in that period. But you and the Cruzer are clueless about that, as you are about most American History. LOLAs soon as you learn how to do a basic internet search, you can educate yourself. Or did you come here to be educated??----------""Employer-sponsored health insurance plans dramatically expanded as a direct result of wage controls imposed by the federal government during World War II. The labor market was tight because of the increased demand for goods and decreased supply of workers during the war. Federally imposed wage and price controls prohibited manufacturers and other employers from raising wages enough to attract workers. When the War Labor Board declared that fringe benefits, such as sick leave and health insurance, did not count as wages for the purpose of wage controls, employers responded with significantly increased offers of fringe benefits, especially health care coverage, to attract workers.""""President Harry S. Truman proposed a system of public health insurance in his November 19, 1945, address. He envisioned a national system that would be open to all Americans, but would remain optional. Participants would pay monthly fees into the plan, which would cover the cost of any and all medical expenses that arose in a time of need. The government would pay for the cost of services rendered by any doctor who chose to join the program. In addition, the insurance plan would give a cash balance to the policy holder to replace wages lost due to illness or injury. The proposal was quite popular with the public, but it was fiercely opposed by the Chamber of Commerce, the American Hospital Association, and the AMA, which denounced it as “socialism.""----------No, instead you will deny facts and ask others to 'prove' it to you, mostly because you know you're wrong.Your claims of being a Democrat are just a lie, obvious to the most casual of observers. And a masters program for the destitute??Shirley you jest.Back to your 'I think Obama's a communist', that you ran away from like a frightened lemming. Please explain. Let's see just how ignorant you really are.

that is when FDR told workers that the Federal Government wasn't going to allow workers to get raises.

Stabilization Act of 1942 formally entitled "An Act to Amend the Emergency Price Control Act of 1942" is what gave FDR the authority to issue Executive Order 9250 Establishing the Office of Economic Stabilization with TITLE II Wage and Salary Stabilization Policy.

One consequence of the wage stabilization under the Act was that employers, unable to provide higher salaries to attract or retain employees, began to offer insurance plans, including health care packages, as a fringe benefit, thereby beginning the practice of employer-sponsored health insurance.Executive Order 9250 Establishing the Office of Economic Stabilization.
